MISSION VIEJO – Bob Haig and his wife came home from dinner Wednesday night to find five police cars and an animal control vehicle surrounding their Mission Viejo home.
A neighbor in their Palmia retirement community, tucked up near the 241 toll road at the north end of the city, quickly filled the couple in.
A mountain lion had been roaming the slopes behind the Haigs’ home and another neighbor’s home for several hours, the neighbor said, with animal control officers working to capture it.
“We were sort of nervous, but it was sort of exciting actually,” Haig said. “This is the first time we’ve had a mountain lion here. We’ve had coyotes but no mountain lions.”
